Random Music Talk XCI: A Festivus for the Rest of Us

[Vlad n U 2]

I ate so much today I felt like a two hour nap was in order for me.

 

[BoMac]

Merry Christmas, everyone.

 

[cobl04]

I went to Midnight Mass with my Nan once. It was nice, but yeah, the only religious thing for me this time of year is the Boxing Day Test.

 

[Hewson]

I miss that. Remember how fucking exciting Christmas Eve/morning was when you believed in Santa?

[joyfulgirl]

although I noticed "In Gods Care" is engraved down the bottom without an apostrophe.

That's gotta hurt.

 

[LemonMelon]

I ate too much chocolate and feel fucking awful.

Merry Christmas!

[PhilsFan]

My Christmas gifts today were a new set of speakers and a new pair of headphones. I am, as always, all about the music. Enjoy the day everyone.

 

[mikal]

I don't know what got into me being an Android fan boy and all but I just purchased the ipad air with my Christmas money. It'll be nice to have a device that I won't tinker with all the time. Looks like apple has a good collection of games.

We'll see. I'd never actually get an iPhone but I'm looking forward to the tablet!

Jesus' Facebook must be blowing up today.

I'd have a look, but I got unfriended after I sent him so many messages asking him to do something about Rush Limbaugh.

Going to see The Roots on the 30th! 25% off the ticket!

 

[cobl04]

Piers Morgan is on our TV screens at the moment, watching the cricket, he's bloody hilarious!

Hell yes! They are great!

As a late Christmas present to myself and something to alleviate the depression I have for being back home already because I have to work tomorrow, I just bought Lucius, Haim, and Chvrches. Downloading the Autorips of all 3 from Amazon now. Trying to decide on another. Los Campesinos? A CD of cats meowing terrible holiday songs? Something else?

 

[Hewson]

A CD of cats meowing terrible holiday songs?

Thats the gift that keeps giving the whole year.

The Los Camp! record is terrific. Top 10 for me this year

I'm just made it doesn't have an Autorip, that's the only thing making me hesitate.

Anyone like the Majical Cloudz album? I heard a few tracks tonight and really liked them.

 

[bono_212]

Majical Cloudz was pretty OK. Better than average, but not life-changing.

I can't wait for Laz to see you hesitating between Cats and Camp, tho.

 

[No spoken words]

Laz is still recovering from Lance's apathy towards Scorsese. If Laz decided to murder Lance over this he will have my axe.

 

[IWasBored]

my axe too on that one.

 

[corianderstem]

A few of you have already seen me share this on Facebook, but a friend of mine did some really cool videos, performing all the instruments and whatnot with just her voice.

Martha, facebook says you are turning 52 today, I hope this doesn't sound rude because I've had a few drinks, but I doubt I will ever meet (or know through the internet) a person in their 50s or older who has as good taste in music as you. Before I joined this forum, I wouldn't have thought it possible for a person in their 50s to recommend hip-hop music to a young skinny white boy from Australia in his 20s, and certainly not go to a fucking Big Boi concert! Fucking props.

 

[martha]

You just made my day.

 

[cobl04]

Oh that's a relief. I've been wanting to say that for years

 

[gvox]

Years? You coulda complimented her on her 51st ya know

 

[gump]

This is good:

Yep, this mashup of “Black Skinhead” with “Elephant” is pretty great, too | Consequence of Sound

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm listening to Low, and I have to say, I love Sound and Vision but there's a really irritating cymbal played in the left ear that always bothers me when I play it with headphones.

I like how there's a thread in OOC called "How Ya Doin?"


Like, obviously not too well if you're answering mundane questions online all day.
